[Insight-developers] RGBA Compose image filter

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Dan,

A submission to the Insight Journal *is* the appropriate mechanism for
this type of contribution.

Remember that the style of a paper for the Insight Journal is the
one of a "technical report". The Insight Journal is quite different
from the other decadent journals in our community. This is a common
repository for practical contributions such as the one that you have
in mind.


Note that your paper could be as short as 2 pages.


What we really want to see is

    1) The code
    2) A *test* for the code
    3) The input images for the test
    4) The output images for the test.


The Insight Journal is all about *reproducibility*.

Posting your code to the bug tracker will not built nor test
your code. While posting it to the Insight Journal, will check
that we can compile the code, run your test, and verify that
the output images we get are similar to the ones you sent.


You are welcome to include in your addition a file with the
necessary additional traits files.


The main reason for us to use the Insight Journal as the entry
gate for ITK is that it provides the opportunity to review
the contributed code for style, portability and correctness.


Please let us know if you have any questions regarding
the process of submission to the Insight Journal.


    Thanks


       Luis
